No.15/033,524, filed on Apr. 29, 2016, which is a national stage ofInternational Application No. PCT/CN2013/086459, filed on Nov. 1, 2013.Both of the aforementioned applications are hereby incorporated byreference in their entireties.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of terminal devices, and inparticular, to a method for presentation by a terminal device, and aterminal device.

BACKGROUND

As technologies advance, terminal devices become increasingly popular.When using a terminal device, a user often prevents misoperations bylocking a screen. In current screen locking technologies, a relationshipbetween a lock screen interface and a home interface is usually ahierarchical relationship (as shown in FIG. 12). The user generallyneeds to unlock by performing an operation (for example, sliding on ortapping some positions on the screen), so that the lock screen interfacedisappears, and the home interface is displayed. In this case, functionsof the terminal device are activated, and multiple operations of theuser can be responded to. After the terminal device enters an unlockedstate, the lock screen interface cannot be presented, unless theterminal device is switched to a screen-locked state again. Such amethod for preventing misoperations imposes a burden on both theterminal device and the user. First, a lock screen interface useless tomost interactions needs to be added for the terminal device, whichincreases a memory burden of the terminal device and lowers useefficiency and an interaction capability of the terminal device. Second,the user cannot see content on the lock screen interface after theterminal device is unlocked, and needs to lock the terminal device againto view the content on the lock screen interface, which lowers operationefficiency of the user and brings much inconvenience to the user.

Embodiment 1

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for presentation by a terminal deviceaccording to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1,the method for presentation by the terminal device may include:

S101. When the terminal device is in a locked state, present content ofa first interface.

That the terminal device is in a locked state indicates that theterminal device can correspondingly process only a part of user input,and cannot process another part of the user input, or cannot processanother part of the user input in a same way as the device does in anunlocked state. That the terminal device is enabled to be in the lockedstate is to prevent misoperations, protect user privacy, or save anelectric energy of the terminal device. Generally, the terminal devicemay enter the locked state by using a function of a system itself or anapplication program. When the terminal device is in the locked state,the content of the first interface is presented. FIG. 5 is a schematicpresentation diagram of presenting content of a first interface when aterminal device is in a locked state. As shown in FIG. 5, an interfaceis a medium for an interaction and an information exchange between thesystem and a user, and the interface implements conversion between aninternal form of information and a form that can be accepted by humans.An objective of the interface is to allow the user to conveniently andefficiently operate hardware, so as to achieve mutual interactions andcomplete work that is expected to be completed by using the hardware.The interface has a broad definition and includes a human-computerinteraction interface, a graphical interface, and the like. An interfaceexists in any field involving information communication between thehumans and a machine. The interface may specifically include atext-based interface, such as an interface (as shown in FIG. 7) that hascharacters and is obtained by programming by using a computer language.A graphical interface, that is, a graphical interface (GUI), iscurrently a most common interface worldwide. For example, an interfacedisplayed when a mobile phone is in a power-on state is a graphicalinterface (as shown in FIG. 8), and a user interacts with hardware ofthe device by using a displayed graphic (an icon). A physical interface,that is, a physical control (as shown in FIG. 9), is one of means ofinteractions between the system and the user. Currently, relativelyuniversal physical controls mainly include a volume button, aphotographing button, a power-on button, an unlocking button, and thelike on an apparatus. The content of the first interface is informationinteracted between the user and the terminal device. The information mayinclude control information, and may further include non-controlinformation, and the information may include one or more types ofinformation that can be perceived by the user, such as auditoryinformation, visual information, haptic information, action information,and smell information.

Optionally, the content of the first interface specifically includessystem-level content or application program-level content preset by theterminal device or/and a user, where the presetting by the terminaldevice includes presetting, by the terminal device according to a usehabit of the user or/and a class of the user.

The system-level content (as shown in FIG. 10) may be content presentedby the system to the user. Currently, common systems include a windowsystem, an android system, an ios system, and the like. The applicationprogram-level content (as shown in FIG. 11, FIG. 11 presents SMS messageapplication program content) may be content that is presented to theuser after the terminal device starts an application program. Currently,common application programs include but are not limited to a telephoneapplication program, a video conference application program, an e-mailapplication program, an instant messaging application program, a blogapplication program, a digital camera application program, a digitalvideo camera application program, an Internet browsing applicationprogram, a digital music player application program, and/or a digitalvideo player application program, and the like. The content of the firstinterface may be preset by the user, where the user designs the contentof the first interface according to the use habit and a preference ofthe user. For example, the user may design the content of the firstinterface as an application program frequently used by the user, or asinformation (which includes but is not limited to time, information,news, and the like) that needs to be frequently viewed by the user, oras an interface that is latest displayed before the user locks thedevice last time. When the user presets the content of the firstinterface, the terminal device may also preset the content of the firstinterface according to the use habit of the user or the class of theuser. That the terminal device presets the content of the firstinterface according to the use habit of the user may be: collecting theuse habit of the user by active learning, and then setting the contentof the first interface by simulating the use habit of the user, wherethe content of the first interface includes but is not limited to theforegoing content that can be designed by the user. That the terminaldevice presets the content of the first interface according to the classof the user may include: the terminal device presents, to a user bydetermining a class of the user who currently operates the device,content matching the class. It should be noted that, the terminal devicemay also complete setting of the content of the first interface by usingany method that combines the foregoing presetting.

Optionally, the first interface is a first interface presented when theterminal device is in the locked state. It can be understood that, afterthe terminal device is activated in a particular manner, but is still inthe locked state and cannot respond to all operations of the user, inthis case, the first interface that is presented by the terminal deviceto the user is the first interface. For example, when a screen of theterminal device is lighted, an interface that is the first one presentedto the user is the first interface.

Optionally, as shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B, the user input to which theterminal device can respond in the locked state includes: the terminaldevice can start an application program according to the user input.Then, after the acquiring user input, and when the terminal device is inthe locked state, the method further includes: starting the applicationprogram according to the user input; and presenting an interface of theapplication program. FIG. 13A is a schematic presentation diagram of afirst interface when the device is in the locked state. In this case,content of the first interface is the system-level content. After theterminal device acquires the user input and starts an SMS messageapplication program according to the user input, an interface of the SMSmessage application program is presented, as shown in FIG. 13B. Itshould be understood that, when the terminal device presents theinterface shown in FIG. 13B, because the terminal device is in thelocked state, the user input to which the terminal device can respond isless than the user input to which the terminal can respond in theunlocked state.

S102. Acquire user input.

The terminal device acquires the user input, and the user input may beobtained by using a touchscreen, or may be obtained by using anotherperipheral of the terminal device (for example, the user input may beacquired by using a microphone, a sensor, and the like). When a terminalwith the touchscreen acquires the user input by using the touchscreen,the user may, by using, for example, one or more fingers, be in contactwith or touch one or more graphics to complete entering, or maycomplete, by sliding a track, entering, or may complete, by gesturing,entering.

S1030. If the user input meets a preset first condition, switch theterminal device to an unlocked state, where the user input to which theterminal device can respond in the unlocked state is more than the userinput to which the terminal device can respond in the locked state.

The preset first condition may be preset by the system or the user, andwhen the user input meets the first condition, the terminal device isswitched from the locked state to the unlocked state. The unlocked statecorresponds to the locked state, and the device in the unlocked statecan respond to more operations of the user when compared with the devicein the locked state. For example, the user input to which the terminaldevice can respond in the locked state includes: information about theterminal device according to the user input, starting an applicationprogram according to the user input, and unlocking the locked stateaccording to the user input. In addition to the foregoing user input,the user output to which the terminal device can respond in the unlockedstate further includes: making a call, editing information, and deletinginformation according to the user input, and the like.

Optionally, that the user input meets a preset first condition indicatesthat the user input meets a preset condition for unlocking the lockedstate of the terminal device. The user input that meets the presetcondition for unlocking the locked state of the terminal device mayinclude a gesture of the user on the touchscreen, such as a slidinggesture and a tapping gesture, or shaking the terminal device by theuser, or changing a state of the terminal device by the user, or thelike.

S104. Present content of the first interface after the terminal deviceis switched to the unlocked state, where the content that is of thefirst interface and presented by the terminal device when the terminaldevice is in the unlocked state is the same as the content that is ofthe first interface and presented by the terminal device when theterminal device is in the locked state.

After the terminal device is unlocked, the terminal device presents thecontent of the first interface to the user. In this case, the presentedcontent of the first interface is the same as the content that is of thefirst interface and presented when the terminal device is in the lockedstate. The “same” indicates that, by comparing two things, there is nochange, or no substantial change, or no obvious change that can beperceived by the user. Specifically, by comparing the content of thefirst interface in the locked state with the content of the firstinterface in the unlocked state, there is no change, or no substantialchange, or no obvious change, between the two, that can be perceived bythe user. It should be understood that, although the content of thefirst interface does not change between the two states, capabilities ofinteractions between the first interface and the user are differentbetween the two different states.

Optionally, the first interface is a first interface presented after theterminal device is switched to the unlocked state. It can be understoodthat, after the terminal device is unlocked in a particular manner, inthis case, the first interface that is presented by the terminal deviceto the user is the first interface. For example, after the terminaldevice completes sliding to unlock, or password unlocking, or patternunlocking, or profile picture unlocking, or voice unlocking, orfingerprint unlocking, the first interface that is presented to the useris the first interface.

Optionally, step S104 may specifically include: after the terminaldevice is switched to the unlocked state, presenting content of a secondinterface; and after presenting the content of the second interface,presenting the content of the first interface. It can be understoodthat, after the terminal device is unlocked in a particular manner, inthis case, instead of directly presenting the first interface, theterminal device first presents the second interface to the user, andafter presenting the second interface, the terminal device presents thefirst interface to the user according to the user input or a setting ofthe system. FIG. 5 is a schematic presentation diagram of a firstinterface, and FIG. 6 is a schematic presentation diagram of a secondinterface. As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the first interface and thesecond interface are different interfaces, and content of the firstinterface is different from content of the second interface.

Optionally, after step S102 and before step S104, the method in thisembodiment of the present invention further includes the following step:S1031. If the user input meets a preset second condition, present,according to the user input, content that is of the first interface andoutside a current presentation range of the terminal device; or if theuser input meets a preset second condition, and the content of the firstinterface is already fully presented in a current presentation range ofthe terminal device, prompt the user that the content of the firstinterface is already fully presented in the current presentation rangeof the terminal device.

The preset second condition may be preset by the system or the user, andwhen the user input meets the second condition, the content that is ofthe first interface and outside the current presentation range of theterminal device is presented according to the user input. Because apresentation capability of the terminal device is within a particularrange, the content of the first interface may not be fully presented tothe user in some cases. Therefore, the terminal device presents,according to the user input, the content that is of the first interfaceand outside the current presentation range to the user. In this case,the user input may be a frequently-used downward sliding gesture, pageflipping gesture, or zooming-in or zooming-out gesture, or the like,which is not limited in the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, theuser may view the content of the first interface by using an upward ordownward sliding gesture. If the user input meets the preset secondcondition, but the content of the first interface is already fullypresented by the terminal device, in this case, the terminal device doesnot respond, or prompts the user with the fact that the content of thefirst interface is already fully presented in the current presentationrange of the terminal device. The prompt may be conveyed to the user byusing one or more means that can be perceived by the user, such asauditory information, visual information, haptic information, actioninformation, and smell information. It should be understood that, theterminal device may have the foregoing presentation capability or promptcapability regardless of whether the terminal device is in the lockedstate or the unlocked state.

Optionally, that the user input meets a preset second conditionindicates that the user input meets a preset condition for viewinginformation on the terminal device. The user input that meets thecondition may be a gesture of the user on the touchscreen, such as asliding gesture and a tapping gesture, or shaking the terminal device bythe user, or changing a state of the terminal device by the user, or thelike.

Optionally, after step S102 and before step S104, the method in thisembodiment of the present invention further includes the following step:S1032. If the user input meets a preset third condition, prompt the userthat the terminal device is in a locked state and cannot respond to theuser input.

The preset third condition may be preset by the system or the user, andwhen the user input meets the third condition, the user is prompted withthe fact that the terminal device is in the locked state and cannotrespond to the user input. In this case, the user input belongs to thepart of the user input to which the terminal device cannot respond inthe locked state in step S101. A means of prompting the user isdescribed above, which is not described herein again.

It should be noted that, in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, stepS1030, S1031, and S1032 do not have a time sequence relationship, and animplementation sequence may be freely arranged, which is not limited inthis embodiment of the present invention.
